2,000,000 Put W. S. S. Drive 'OvertheTop'j Last-Hour Pledge Deluge* Keeps Up New York's Mark for Loyalty City to Give Million Weekly to Help War Campaign Ends Trium? phantly for Workers Af? ter Few Hours of Doubt The W. S. S. pledge campaign in this city, along about dusk lait night, had gone the way of the Red Cross, the Knights of Columbus and the other war drives here?over the top with a leap. Exact figures on the results of the arduous campaigning wore not avail? able. On the heels of receiving positive assurances that an army of 2,000,000 war savers had been enrolled, the com? mittee was fairly inundated by waves t? additional pledges which swept in. Counting was forgotten in the whole souled delight at attaining the imposing objective. There were many anxious moments for the workers over the success of j the drive up to within a few hours of its triumphant conclusion. The sun? shine of yesterday afternoon, by some paradox, proved to be the "darkness before the dawn." At 4 o'clock, gloom fairly exuded from campaign head? quarters. Only 40,000 individual pledges had been reported out of the balance of 400,000 necessary for the "ovei"-the top" movement. Pledges Comes in Flood The whistles, blowing quitting time throughout the city, seemed the signal for the releasing of a shower of re? ports, rich in results, to the head? quarters at 51 Chambers Street. The fe'ood news poured in over the telephone and by messengers until Chairman j Allen and his associates were confident i that New York City had cl served War j Savings Day by over-subscribing its ouota of signatures. Figuring the aver? age regular contribution of each pledgee to be 50 cents, New Yorkers ; will save $1,000,0.00 for democracy) weekly. With the goal already passed, calls 1or new pledge cards came from every part of the city. The East Side ap? pealed for 100,000 to satiate the patriotic and thrifty thirst of its resi? dents. Daily Record Broken Incidental to the enlisting of saving recruits, $289,758 in thrift and wa* aav ings stamps were sold in the city yes? terday, an increase of $9,700 ovei Thursday's sales. The grand total foi stamp sales hero since last Decembei is $17,627,541, a daily average of $83,. 640. Every possible medium of appeal wa? utilized by the thousands of workert yesterday in their battle to maintalr, New York's average in attaining wai aid quotas at 100 per cent. Persona! canvasses, public meetings, concert? and the insertion of the pledge drivi as part of the daily business routine figured prominently in the campaign? ing. The subway band and the vaudeville singers held a throng at City Hall Park, where 1,438 pledges were signed and $1.500 in stamp sales were made In front of the Public Library speak? ers were forced to stand by silent while the assorted chirography of thou? sands was affixed to pledges and green stamps were traded for green money in wholesale lots. Pledgees Given Soup Thousands of downtown workers tasted a steaming cup of vegetable soup, especially prepared by an army cook on an army rolling field kitchen which stood at Leonard and Hudson Streets at noon. The sampling of the liquid "chow" meant that they hud purchased stamps and signed the pledge. Prior to the anchoring of the kitchen on the corner, there had been a parade of the confectioners' divi? sion of war savings societies. The street cleaning band played and Signor Lucien Muratore, of the Chicago Opera Company, sang, while shoals of pledges were signed around the steps of the Sub-Treasury. Frank A. Yanderlip, president of the National City Rank and Director of War Saving?:,'spoke to the thousands blocking Wall Street. After appealing for pledge signers he said: "It takes five men behind the lines to support every fighting man, so that if we have four million fighters we will have to have twenty million men back? ing them up. This will mean half the active man power of the country, and this is the number we will need to beat Germany." Battalions of shock campaigners of the. Woman's Committee stormed the theatres, matinee and night, yesterday. No movie was too small and no theatre too large for their attention. The booth at Fifth Avenue and Thirty fourth Street resembled a toll gate, no strolling citizen being able to pass it without paying his promise in writing to contribute a fixed amount each month to the nation's war treasury. Appeals for thrift were voiced in thirty tongues in the foreign colonies. "A stamp a day keeps the Kais/r away." they were told, and responded with signatures or by "making their mark." Pushcart peddlers sold stamps and asked for pledges. Storekeepers cov? ered their counters with pledges, the dotted line pleading for signatures. Though officially the organization of new war savings societies was not pressed by the committee in charge of the drive yesterday, 1,026 were report? ed as newly formed, swelling the total for the campaign to 11,341. Enough have Jbeen formed, but not officially re? ported, it was said, to bring this total to 13,000. Workers Given Praise Chairman Allen, who directed the campaign here, in a statement last night lauded New Yorkers for their proved patriotism. "I am greatly gratified at the show? ing made by New York City in the war savings pledge drive," he said. "It proves that in this movement, as in every other effort to back up the men in service, New York has lived up to its reputation of being heart and soul in the war. "I want particularly to thank the great army of volunteers and other workers who have labored so hard and loyally to carry the message to every nook and corner of the city." ? "Non-Essentials" in Quest of New Jobs j Recruiting offices in New York City were jammed yesterday with waiters, bartenders, department store clerks and other classes of men of draft ag.3 who fall under Provost Marshal Gen? eral 'Crowderis "work or fight" order. These men will have to change their occupations some time next month to comply with General Crowder's edict. They will have to seek employment in an essential war industry or enlist. It looked yesterday as if moat of them preferred to fight. The crowds at the registration sta? tions of the Federal Employment Ser? vice and the State Industrial Commis? sion increased in numbers. Many of the applicants for positions, however, were men over draft age, doing their best to avoid the anti-loafing act pen? alties. Henry D. Sayer, Federal director of the United States Employment Service for this state, issued a statement ad? vising men who had to change their occupations to keep cool and stick to their present unessential jobs until they found posts in essential industries. He advised men of draft age to regis? ter at the employment offices at 22 East Twenty-second Street or 310 Jay Street, Brooklyn. -* Draft Clerk Sentenced John B. Shaw, draft board clerk and church worker in Brooklyn, who is al? leged to have made improper proposals to the wife of a registrant who sought deferred classification, was sentenced yesterday by Judge Chatfield in the United States District Court, Brooklyn, to eleven months and twenty-nine days in the Mine?la jail. He pleaded guilty of trying to obtain deferred classifica- j tion for a registrant. ' "This man failed in his duty," said ! Judge Chatfield, "and attempted to tako j advantage of a woman who appeared before the board and who was entitled l to the utmost respect and considera tion." -. "Nation" Announces Its Divorce From "Post" "The New York Nation" announced j yesterday, "its complete editorial sepa- ! ration from 'The New York Evening [ Post.' The entire contents of its is? sues, editorials, special articles, book ; reviews and other articles will here after appear exclusively in 'The Na- ! tion' and will be the products of its j own staff and contributors. "In recent years there has been some editorial relationship between the two j publications, although 'The Nation' has occupied a unique and distinctive field j as a standard critical journal of liter? ature, art, politics and statecraft." I ? . To Unveil Honor Tablet j Governor Whitman will unveil to-day j in the Congregational Church of Bloom? ing Grove, N. Y., a memorial window dedicated to patriotism and bearing the church's honor roll?the names of twelve men who enlisted. Above the honor roll is the inscription, "It is our I acts not our words that count." | Where to Go to Church To-morrow BAPTIST BAPTIST "THE MORALS OF NEW YORK. IS THE CITY GROWING BETTER OR WORSE?"

Emerson Motors Conspiracy Case Goes to the Jury Prosecuting Attorney, in Summing Up, Declares Fraud Proven The case of the Emerson Motors de? fendants, accused of having conspired to use the United States mails with intent to defraud investors, is now in the hands of the jury. After four hours of sledge hammer oratory, Assistant United States At? torney James W. Osborne, 2d, yester? day concluded his summing up of the government's charges against the de? fendants, i Shortly after 6 o'clock Judge Martin T. Mant?n, in whose branch of the j United States District Court the case ; has been heard, finished his charge to | the jury. The defending attorneys ' filed forward with their final "re? quests." The court officers started j transporting the great mass of ex? hibits into the jury room, and by 6:30 the jui-ors who have been sitting since May 22 had begun their ! deliberations. In his resume of the evidence, which I has extended over nearly six weeks ? in the taking, Mr. Osborne traced the | career of the company side by side | with the advertisements that accom? panied its various stages. "Is that a full, fair statement of ? the condition of the company in which \ these men were offering stock for sale?" Again and again ha concluded his readings of the advertisements with ! that challenge. Says Facts Were Suppressed "Look at the facts that are sup? pressed!" he cried. "That is the test. It is the duty of people selling stock to state every singlo fact pertaining to that stock. The rule that applies to the purchasing of merchandise does not apply to stock. Merchandise you can see, feel, examine. You can prove for yourself whether you're getting what the salesman says you are get? ting. With stock you cannot do that. With stock you are obliged to take the salesman's word. And the obligation of the salesman of stock is stricter in proportion. "In not a single case here has a full, fair, honest statement of the facts been made for the guidance of the purchaser. Not a promise out of all this glittering list has been kept. Just look at the record. j "A long list of advisory directors is drawn up, recruited from men who have no knowledge of this company, ? solely in order that their names may j be used to induce the public to invest ? its money. A picture of a factory is put i out when there is no factory. An in-1 spired article is published in a news? paper and then circulated as if it rep- j resented the independent judgment of that newspaper. In the formation of | the company every recognized rule is flouted solely in order that the pro? moters may benefit. And then these defendants have the colossal effrontery to come here and tell you that theirs was a bona fide business failure." : A dozen times Mr. Osborne reverted to the charge that no one of the pro? moters of the Emerson scheme ever put up a dollar of his own money. Back? dated letters and minutes of meetings, estimates that existed only on paper, bribes handed through back doors? these, he said, were some of the fruits of the "good faith" with which the de? fendants maintain they acted through? out their ill-fated venture. Ridicules Hupp's Idea Taking up the defence's picture of Robert Craig Hupp as an inspired "dreamer," the prosecutor traced the history of Mr. Hupp's failures and ridi? culed his every pr?tention to eminence in the automobile world. Scathingly he referred to him as "this genius with an idea worth $6,999,000." "But there isn't an original thing in the whole idea!" he concluded. The schedule to which the Campbell defence has consistently pointed as proof of the concern's sincerity, Mr. Osborne declared, was "to all intents | and purposes thrown out of the window except for stock selling purposes." The j "voting trust," ticing up control of the Emerson company for a term of three years, and cited by the defence as su-1 preme proof that the originators of the project intended to proceed with a le- ! gitimate business, Mr. Osborne stig- ; matized as the scheme whereby alone they were enabled to sell stock, chiefly for their own benefit, he charged. ! "One hundred and two hundred per cent was the amount the defendant Wilson made on this stock," he said. "And how much of this money ever found its way into the Emerson trea3- | ury? The records in this case show." | The Wilson notes to the company, j Mr. Osborne held, were "not worth the paper they were written on," and i the arrangement whereby that broker paid the company for the stock he took, ! only after that stock had been resold I to the public at a largely increased figure, the District Attorney pointed to as clear-cut proof this was "nothing more nor less than a stock-selling scheme." In the same connection he elaborated the details of his case against each of the individual defendants, waxing par? ticularly bitter in his denunciation of Matches, the salesman from Boston where $20,500 was sent, it is said, to avert investigation. Much time was devoted, too, by Mr Osborne to the letter of resignation from James Warren Hill, the first at? torney for the Emerson firm, in which it was stated that the concern's prac? tice of stock selling was "obtaining money under false pretences in its simplest form." This letter Mr. Camp? bell declares he personally never re? ceived; but that contention, too, the prosecutor ridiculed. Takes Up Attorney's Case (n^ to,the other "Plv o? the defence to the charge embodied in this letter that Amos H. Stephens, the succeeding attorney, was present at the meeting where it was spread on the record, and approved all the methods of the com? pany?Mr. Osborne said that if this WifrVC?qB,,y the C8S0 Mr. Stephens should be sitting in court on trial along with the other defendants. At the beginning of yesterday's ses? sion Jud R. Rush, concluding the sum ming up for the defence, stated that I the promoters; hopes for'success were I entirely justified; that at that ?eriod ! before this country had entered the I war the psychological moment for a ?nf? C*la88?1?rpriced motor car to1 enter the field was unmistakably at hand. In reply to the charge that the J? wa? df?ived. he answered that all the stock sold was advertised as pre-organization stock, and that it was never represented that one cent de? rived from its sale would go into the treasury of the company. The indictment under which the d?? fendants are charged conaista of thir? teen counts. The extreme penalty H??re??HhuCh?rBe of U8in* the mails to 11.000 fine on each count.

For years we have been I thinking war and reading war; books I of the passionute moment, hot i' the j mouth. And now there comes this stately and beautiful volume, calm, re I flective, leisurely; just such as might i be written if Huns and rapes and hell j broth were quite unknown to the world. Moreover, it is, as the names on the 'title page infallibly Indicate, a work of ! commanding and permanent importance | tu the intellectual life of the world. ! Taking for his text Wordsworth's ? autobiographical poem, "The Prelude," j one of the most penetrating, judicious I and authoritative French critics of our day presents an elaborate study of j Wordsworth's early life, essaying a so? lution of the problem which has vexed every biographer and critic of the great Lake poet and which Browning so pun gently epitomized in "The Lost Leader." How was Wordsworth transformed from a radical disciple of Jean Jacques ] Rousseau and "Tom" Paine into a pillar i of orthodox conservatism? We doubt I if a more satisfactory explanation has i ever or will ever be given than that ! which is suggested in Professor Le j gouis's luminous and eloquent pages. Of course, it is not a study merely of that phase of Wordsworth's charac? ter and career, but of the whole man and his writings in the early part of his life. As such it must have the very highest, rank among works of literary criticism, and perhaps be esteemed the definitive word concerning one of the most interesting and not least impor? tant and influential figures in modern English literature. -e Heroes of Law True Tales of the Work of the Pennsylvania Police THE STANDARD BEARERS. By Katharine Mayo. With Illustrations by Captain Louis Kcene. 12mo, pp, tli, 3U. Tho Houghton MJCNin Company. It gave us great pleasure some time. ago to review at length Miss Mayo's admirable "Justice to AH," a history and description of the Pennsylvania State Police. In tho present volume she gives us a number of stories of the actual achievements of that fine body of men. The tal?3 are all literally true. In every case the real names ! of the troopers are given; in all but ' one the real names of the places; and in most cases the real names of the criminals with whom the troopers dealt. The tales are told with all the dramatic power and thrilling interest i of master-pieces of fiction, yet they reveal the immeasurable value of the service with all the directness and veracity of an official report. The pe nclogist, sociologist or statesman who j wishes seriously to study the workings j I of the state police system can do so i to no better advantage than in Miss I i Mayo's vivid and convincing pages; j . while the reader in quest of fascina- | ! tion, thrills and the strenuous witch | ery of edventnro will find them all here I i in a measure not incomparable with I | that of Dumas himself. Let us hope that the title of the i book is prophetic. It was chosen by ? the author to suggest that this splcn i did service of the Keystone State ? should serve as an example for the other states to follow. They could do ? no better than to do so. No thoughtful ? person can read these records of the ! Pennsylvania troopers without a wish that every state might have a similar force for the maintenance of law and i order and "justice to all." The Heart of the Puritan Tricks and Manners of the Makers of a New World THE HEART OP THE PUBrPAN. S?lection? from letters and journal?. Edited by Eliza? beth Deoriiig Hanacom, Vh. D., ProfesBor of Eng Uah in Smith College, l?mo, pp. xlll. 281. The Macmlllan Company. The tercentenary, year after next, of the planting of the Plymouth colony is bound to call out a writing activity most of which will be, no doubt, worthy of the memory of those early Ameri? cans, the Pilgrim and the Puritan Eng? lish. Not even the blessed word meticu? lous will dissuade scholars from trying to clarify the distinction between Pil? grim and Puritan or from trying to make us understand that while the Plymouth folk were Separatists many of the Puritans had good claims to be considered Anglicans. However far tho learned may go in laboring such points, the layman knows that the New Eng? land fathers, considered as human an? cestors, are always rewarding to re? search. How richly they repay inquiry such a dossier as this of Miss Hans com'3 goes to show. Here are excerpts from the letters and diaries of persons who looked for no literary immortality, with reflections of?and reflections upon?the life of the period. You shall learn that Mr. Shrimpton, the London brazier's son, has built a state? ly house in Boston with a Brass Kettle atop to show his father was not ashamed of his Original. From the same chronicler it may be learned about the Bostonians of 1686 that they are great censors of other men's man? ners, but extremely careless of their own. Young Mr. Cotton Mather refers to his diarv a complaint about the cold weather, "My Ink in my very pen suf? fers a congelation, but my witt much more." In those far-off times there was occasionally a difficulty with ser? vants. Of one indocile housemaid an indignant gentleman avers, "We can hardly keep -her within doors after we a^'e gonn to bed, except as we carry the kay of the door to bed with us." Along with the wine arid marmalade of Puritan social converse. Miss Hans com serves us with academic titbits from Cambridge, tho home of what one tilted-nose visitor calls the only col? lege or would-be academy of the Prot? estants in all America. One youth grants us the glimpse of an imperfect day when, having entered Harvard Col? lege, he began Logick and fitt with the sophomores. Commencement at Harvard gets itself described by a Cambridge sufferer as a senseless, use? less, noisy impertinency. On matters of this sort there are no lights qdite so good as sidelights, particularly when they are so judiciously placed as Miss Hanscom has managed to place them. Perhaps the more serious moods of the ancient New Englander are given a fairer chance for regard when set against the background of the work and play of ordinary lireumstance. As might be expected, Miss Hanscom has interrogated the classic spirits when seeking to interpret the religious faith and moral valor of the men who made, in more senses than one, a new world. The Drama of France A KHOBT HIBTOKY OE PKANCE. By Mary Du clatii. With mapa. Boyal. Sro. pp. J?5. G. P. Hitnam'a Son?. f It was, if we remember aright, a French woman who demanded tho.his? tory of the world In uve minutes-? or was it in a hundred words? If so it is fitting that we should have a his? tory of France from Ctesar to Napo? leon in a single volume. And here we have it, narruted with a power which tlir?l? us and with a skill which holds us spellbound; as we were, for exam? ple, when wo saw Booth enact the Car? dinal. That, indeed, suggests the ge cret of our gifted author's unique suc? cess. She has treated the eighteen centuries ns one mighty coherent drama, which she presents with singu? lar power in a series of acts and scenes. A drama does not, of course, con? cern itself with the esoteric details; unless Ibsen has written it. It deals with action, with things done. That is what this work does. In the words cf "Pinafore," never mind the why and wherefore. The act's the thing. All else may be left to the bookworm student. The average reader wants to know what was done, how it was done, and ?who did it. Those are the things which Mme. Duclaux tells us in this superb volume as they have never been told before in equal compass; making a book to be read with fascination and to be prized for preservation and for innumerable re-readinga.

Thoroughly practical and timely are all these books, dealing with various phases of the theme suggested by the first on our list. Dr. Howe, the Com? missioner of Immigration at this port, has written a most thoughtful and in? forming work, in which he analyzes the food situation in this and' other coun? tries, the agricultural resources and possibilities of America, and our sys? tems of speculation, marketing, storage and what not. It is a book of all but universal appeal and utility, to the farmer, the merchant, the housekeeper and all others. Professor Findlay's treatise on kitchen gardening is noteworthy for both what it tells its readers to do and . what it tells them not to do. It is re- ! plete with instruction of the most spe cific and practical kind, and is profusely illustrated, forming a gardener's man- j ual of high utility. I Mr. Kruhm's very practical garden j manual is said to be specially adapted to the Pacific Coast, but we are in- j clined to think that most of it is equally applicable to most other regions. It is j largely devoted to descriptions and rec- : ommendations of the best varieties of j fruits and vegetables, and with its pict-1 ure on every page serves the dual f une- j tions of a lecturer on gardening and an I altogether impersonal and impartial j seedsman's catalogue. Dr. Davis's treatise on school and i home gardening is, as its title might! imply, a textbook. Yet, like others of j the better modern textbooks, it is also well designed for home and private in? struction, and would admirably serve j as gardener's manual. In fact, we have j seen few works more commendable for! that purpose. ! The development of cooperative and ; community marketing has been a note? worthy feature of the last year or two in this country, and a most "hopeful one, and it is pleasant to see the subject! treated in a thoughtful fashion in Pro? fessor Cumberland's volume. He de? votes himself, it is true, chiefly to the example which has been presented by the California citrus fruit growers. But j it is quite obvious, as he points out, j that their methods are quite applicable i to other regions and other products, j with a confident assurance of similar' results. | After the market for the producer. I tho marketing by the consumer. Miss! Donham, an instructor in household management, gives to the housekeeper the results of a score of years of observation and experience, to serve as a guide in economical and satisfactory purchasing at the market, and in such cooking and serving as will conduce to the highest degree of household efficiency. The recipes, tables and charts, which fill many pages, should bo a perfect godsend to the house? keeper, Wheatless and meatless days are doubtless a terror to many who do not know how tolerable they can be made, apart from the inspiration of war winning sacrifice. Miss Partridge and Miss Conklin have compiled a copious and comprehensive array of toothsome recipes for such days, well calculated I to relieve the embarrassment of the j housekeeper or cook and to give joy to the diners. j So with war bread. Ignorantly or i unskilfully done, it is repellent; ex? pertly prepared, it is welcome to even ': the fastidious palate. Mrs. Handy's little volume gives numerous recipes and suggestions for bread, cakes and other war-time foods, tested and ap? proved as excellent. "Mrs. Allen's Cook Book" needs nothing more than the name of the author to denote its authoritative and practical character. We should indeed doubt if there were extant a more satisfactory and valuable general treatise on cookery and compendium of recipes of all sorts than hers. It is calculated to serve all households, from the simplest to the most elabo? rate, and equally all individual tastes. Mrs. Gillmore's "Economy Cook Book" is specially designed for those who practise the (comparatively) sim? ple life at table. Yet its recipes com? prise many dishes which might well tempt a gourmand; though they are al! intelligently designed for economy and health. "The International Jewish Cook Book" is a "Kosher" cook book and a good deal more. There are many reci? pes in it which really have nothing to do with the special methods of food preparation followed by Jews, so that its appeal, while very complete and convincing to them, is also in some measure to all housekeepers. Another still more special cook hook is Rebecca Oppcnheimer's, intended for the unhappily numerous class who suffer from diabetes or allied ailments and who therefore require a peculiar diet. Prepared by an expert in cook? ery, herself a diabetic patient and therefore sympathetic, under the ad? vice and sanction of a competent phys? ician, the volume will serve a most useful purpose and add greatly to the comfort and well being of many un? fortunate people. \ "Hot JVO! jYO/" SHE had never even seen him before?yet he seemed to know her.
